[Intro]The weight of livingThe weight of livingThe weight of livingThe weight of living

[Verse 1]All that you desired, when you were a childWas to be old, was to be oldNow that you are here, suddenly you fearYou've lost control (You've lost control)Do you like the person you've become? Oh

[Chorus]Under the weight of livingYou're under the weight of livingUnder the weight of livingYou are under the weightThe weight of living, the weight of living

[Verse 2]It all crept up on you, in the night it got youAnd plagued your mind, it plagues your mindEvery day that passes, faster than the last didAnd you'll be old soon, you'll be oldDo you like the person you've become? Oh

[Chorus]Under the weight of livingYou're under the weight of livingUnder the weight of livingYou are under the weightThe weight of living, the weight of living

[Bridge](Tell yourself this is how it's going to be)(Tell yourself this is how it's going to be)Oh, tell yourself this is how it's going to be.Oh, tell yourself this is how it's going to be, oh.

[Chorus]Under the weight of livingYou're under the weight of livingUnder the weight of livingYou are under the weightThe weight of living, the weight of livingThe weight of living, the weight of living
